As controversies trail the alleged missing $10 billion petro-dollars in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) on Monday called on all those concerned with the missing money, including the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, to speak out in the interest of all Nigerians.

While hosting the Consul-General of Lebanon, Mrs. Dima Haddad and members of the Lebanese Nigeria Initiatives who had come to present the cheque for N80 million and the keys to a troop carrier truck donated to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund in Lagos, Governor Fashola said that continued silence of the stakeholders on the issue constituted an injustice against ordinary Nigerians who have had to contribute from their meagre earnings to fund projects and programmes that are constitutionally the responsibility of government.

Thanking organizations and individuals who have been contributing to the State’s Security Trust Fund, Governor Fashola said that “the tragedy of our nation is that while we are debating whether we have accounted for $20 billion dollars or $10 billion dollars, ordinary citizens are contributing money to fund the responsibility of government”.
